Which agri-companies are in Quote 500?

These aren't farmers, are they? Title is wrong again.

I miss the MS Schippers family. They had something like 275M last year I think I remember.

Again, none of this is true, these are not farmers, but supply companies or customers or companies that have earned their money outside the sector, such as Pon. VannDrie is well on his way to becoming a billionaire of the few tens we collect for the calves. And complain that the trade is so bad.

These are not farmers, but people who earn from farmers. You can check how much money disappears from the sector and remains on the bow.

I hope Boerenbusiness realize what effect a misplaced title like the one above can have??!!
Is all too easily and indiscriminately taken over by other media!
Please change the title!!

If indeed all this falls under "agriculturalists", then we have many colleagues. Suggestive title and that for an "agricultural medium".

I can't see myself standing there despite having a thick neck.

Something has to change quickly in agribusiness and among farmers.

It is important that everyone who works hard in the sector also gains enough from this.

Farmers don't like each other in my region. Not a good buy, certainly not a good sale. Prices are after. Potatoes that only score 4 cents per kilogram.

Take an example, if I ask for an extra 4 cents above the market quote today. Then my colleague or family will tell me that this is not the prize. But who's to say this is true. If you need the plumber at 10pm. Then he probably asks twice.

I work in potato processing and notice that a farmer often does not know what his potatoes are worth.

3 examples.

1. It is wet in summer, only 1 farmer on light soil can harvest with difficulty. For the rest, there is no way to get potatoes.
What does this farmer ask, only the market quotation. I don't think that's smart. The farmer only keeps the factory running half the time. And the free market for fries is outrageously expensive.

2. By the end of August there are still many cells of old potatoes. Most drive these potatoes onto the land. 1 farmer delivers them to the factory. After they have been washed, they handle fine. The new crop of potatoes is very expensive and is not yet at the right underwater weight. The farmer complains to the buyer that his potatoes are worth nothing. The potatoes look really bad. But washing and sorting works fine. The farmer only asks for half the market price. There had been more residents. The factory is trying to buy them all. The farmer does not charge extra for the second delivery. The factory is trying to buy more old potatoes. Unfortunately, all have already driven onto the land.

3. A French fries factory produces wedges for a customer. And needs 35 mm to 50 mm potatoes for this. No farmer has this size, the factory has to supply wedges. They buy chips potatoes and push the large potatoes into the rest of the stream. Dear farmers, this really could have been profitable.

What a bad example...and what are you trying to tell us...agree with you that something needs to change.

What a VERY good example

It's SO it works in the fries factory

Dear Pete,

Your story is fun to read. But if I see what simple language mistakes you make, then I can't take your story seriously. Eg he produces, he tries, he delivers. Outrageous language errors.

You don't just make up stories like Piet's.
I think such things are a pity for you potato growers.

Geuste Kartoffel, that's something..... bit about language errors....
Not everyone is literary Geuste...
By the way, if you use abbreviations like e.g. then you have to put an end to it eh....... that's how it works in linguistics.....
Bit of a shame these kind of comments.....
